Welcome back.

Let's jump into the tools you have available to create

an excellent presentation.

First, your presentation is going to need slides.

So let's chat a bit about how you can organize your slides.

You can add a slide matching the type you're currently viewing

by clicking the plus button here.

Or you can choose the drop-down to pick a different slide type.

You can delete a slide by right-clicking on it's image and

choosing Delete, or by pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.

Sometimes you may have slides with similar layouts.

This is a great time to use the duplicate ability.

Select the slide you want to duplicate, right click on it, and

select Duplicate slide.

To reorganize the order of your slides, you can drag slides to change their order.

Nice work.

Now let's jump into the specific tools you have available to add design elements or

content to each slide.

Text is a big part of a presentation.

You can click into the text boxes on slides that have them built in.

Or use the text box tool to create a text box of your own.

Shapes are a great way to help get ideas across visually.

There are a multitude of shapes to choose from, so take a minute to explore and

see what shapes call to you.

Pro tip, hold down the Shift key when

creating a new shape to help keep its proportions.

The next tool you have available is the line tool.

This doesn't just create straight lines, but

can also create lines with arrows to connect information.

Combining shapes and lines gives you the ability

to create diagrams in your presentations, too.

Under Insert, you can also add tables, charts, diagrams, and word art.

Lastly, let's talk about media.

You can add audio, video, and images to your slides, too.

Make sure to check your media before you present for blurriness and sound quality.

There's nothing worse than finding a great visual that no one can see or

understand when you present.

Check by uploading to a slide,

Resizing the media to be the height and width that you want.

And then viewing it in presentation mode to see if the audience will be able to

view it easily.

With the knowledge of the tools available to you under your belt, think about which

will help show off your information and be a pleasant experience for your audience.

Next, we'll jump into how you can collaborate and share your presentation.

See you there.
